SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Thoroughly read the OPERATOR’S MANUAL
before operating the Hybrid Quiet Diesel Pow-
er System (Hybrid Power System). Safe opera-
tion and top performance can only be obtained
when equipment is properly operated and
maintained.
The following symbols in this manual alert you to
potential hazards to the operator, service person
and equipment.
DANGER
alerts you to an immediate hazard
that will result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING
alerts you to a hazard or unsafe
practice that can result in severe personal in-
jury or death.
CAUTION
alerts you to a hazard or unsafe
practice that can result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
For quick reference the potential hazards of this
type of equipment and the precautions to take are
listed below in this section.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Keep children away from Hybrid Power Sys-
tem components.
Do not use evaporative starting fluids. They
are highly explosive.
Let the engine cool down before removing
the coolant pressure cap or opening the cool-
ant drain. Releasing hot coolant under pres-
sure can lead to severe burns.
Keep the Hybrid Power System components
and their enclosures clean. Oil collects dirt
that can restrict cooling. Oily rags can catch
fire. Stowed gear can block cooling air.
Make sure all fasteners are secure and
torqued properly.
Do not perform Hybrid Power System mainte-
nance or service when mentally or physically
tired or after consuming alcohol or drugs.
You must be trained and experienced to
make adjustments while the Hybrid Power
System is in operation—hot, moving or elec-
trically live parts can cause severe personal
injury or death.
Used engine oil has been identified by some
U. S. state and federal agencies as causing
cancer or reproductive toxicity. Do not ingest,
inhale, or contact used oil or its vapors.
Ethylene glycol, used as engine antifreeze, is
toxic to humans and animals. Clean up spills
and dispose of used engine coolant in accor-
dance with local environmental regulations.
Keep a multi-class ABC fire extinguisher in
the vehicle. Class A fires involve ordinary
combustible materials such as wood and
cloth. Class B fires involve combustible and
flammable liquids and gaseous fuels.
Class C fires involve live electrical equip-
ment. (ref. NFPA No. 10)
The Hybrid Power System installation must
comply with all applicable local, state and fed-
eral codes and regulations.
v
ENGINE EXHAUST IS DEADLY
Engine exhaust gases include CARBON MON-
OXIDE (CO), an odorless, colorless, poisonous
gas that can cause severe personal injury or
death. Symptoms of CO poisoning include:
Dizziness, Headache or Throbbing Temples
Weakness or Muscular Twitching
Sleepiness or Confusion
Nausea or Vomiting
If you or anyone else experiences any of these
symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately. Get
advice from 911, poison control or a medical cen-
ter. Do not enable AUTO or start Generator Mode
until the exhaust system has been repaired.
To reduce the risk of CO poisoning from engine
exhaust:
Check for exhaust leaks every day and after
every eight hours of operation.
Do not enable AUTO or start Generator Mode
before going to sleep unless the coach has
working CO detectors.
Disable AUTO and stop Generator Mode
when parking the coach in a garage or other
confined space.
Do not use engine cooling air to heat the
coach. It may contain exhaust gases.
The exhaust system must be installed in ac-
cordance with the Hybrid Power System
Installation Manual.
POWER SYSTEM VOLTAGES ARE
DEADLY
Before servicing the coach or Hybrid Power
System, disconnect Shore Power, push the
Power Unit circuit breaker OFF and turn the
Coach DC Disconnect Switch to Disconnect
(to power down the Hybrid Power System).
Electrical connections must be made by a
trained and experienced electrician in accor-
dance with the Hybrid Power System Installa-
tion Manual and applicable codes.
Do not connect the Power Unit to the Coach
AC circuits. Its high output voltages can dam-
age equipment and cause death or severe
personal injury.
Improper transfer of loads between the Hy-
brid Power System and Shore Power can
lead to electrocution of utility line workers and
damage to equipment. Connections must be
made by a trained and experienced electri-
cian in accordance with the Hybrid Power
System Installation Manual and applicable
codes.
Use caution when working on live electrical
equipment. Remove jewelry, make sure
clothing and shoes are dry, stand on a dry
wooden platform or rubber insulating mat and
use tools with insulated handles.
Upon completing service, secure housing
panels and covers to protect from electrical
parts.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
Disconnect the 10-Pin and 4-Pin remote con-
trol connectors and battery cables from the
Power Unit to prevent unintended starting
while servicing. Insulate the end of the posi-
tive (+) battery cable to keep it from touching
chassis ground.
Keep hands away from fans, belts, pulleys
and other moving parts.
Remove loose clothing and jewelry.
Upon completing service, secure housing
panels and covers to protect from moving
parts.
vi
BATTERY GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
Before servicing the batteries, disconnect
Shore Power, push the Power Unit circuit
breaker OFF and turn the Coach DC Discon-
nect Switch to Disconnect (to power down the
Hybrid Power System).
Wear safety glasses.
Do not smoke.
Remove jewelry.
Observe proper battery cable connect/dis-
connect sequences.
Secure DC terminal protective covers to pre-
vent accidental shorting with metal tools.
IMPROPER CHARGING CAN OVERHEAT
COACH BATTERIES AND CAUSE FIRE
Do not mix old and new batteries or different types
of batteries. Reconfigure the Hybrid Power Sys-
tem for proper charging if battery type and bank
capacity have changed.
DIESEL FUEL IS COMBUSTIBLE
Do not smoke or turn electrical switches ON
or OFF where fuel fumes are present or in
areas sharing ventilation with fuel tanks or
equipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights,
arc-producing equipment and all other
sources of ignition well away.
Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and
separated or shielded from electrical wiring.
COACH ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CAN
IGNITE FLAMMABLE VAPORS
Disable AUTO and stop Generator Mode be-
fore fueling the coach to reduce the risk of ig-
niting flammable vapors.
Do not store liquid or gaseous fuel containers
in the same enclosures as the Inverter/Char-
gers, Transfer Switch, batteries or other
spark-producing equipment.
FLAMMABLE VAPORS CAN CAUSE
DIESEL ENGINES TO OVERSPEED
Do not operate the diesel-powered Hybrid Power
System where there are or can be flammable va-
pors created by fuel spills, gas leaks, etc. Flam-
mable vapors drawn into a diesel engine air intake
system can cause the engine to overspeed, which
can result in fire, explosion and equipment dam-
age. The owners and operators of the Hybrid
Power System are solely responsible for safe op-
eration.

weight of 391 lbs (177 kg). Vertical dynamic weight
is therefore plus/minus 1173 lbs ( 531 kg) and hori-
zontal dynamic weight is 391 lbs (177 kg).
Mounting Hardware
The Power Unit is shipped with four 3/8-16 by 1-1/2
inch thread-forming screws to secure it to the sup-
porting frame or floor. Torque the mounting screws
to 31 lb-ft (42 N-m).

LOCATION
Typical Power Unit locations on a vehicle are illus-
trated in Figure 2-1.
1. Provide access to the control panel so that the
Power Unit can be started with the control
switch, the circuit breakers can be reset and
coolant and oil can be added.
2. Provide access underneath the Power Unit to
change the air, oil and fuel filters and drain oil
and coolant. The oil and fuel filter access door
must be able to swing wide open. See PE-
RIODIC MAINTENANCE in the Operator’s
Manual.
3. Provide access for connecting and disconnect-
ing fuel lines, battery cables, remote control
wiring and AC wiring.
4. Make sure that frame cross members, exhaust
tail pipes and other equipment do not cross un-
derneath the oil drain plug or air intake and dis-
charge openings or the oil and fuel filter access
door.
5. Provide access for removing the two fuel pump
mounting screws so that the Power Unit does
not have to be removed to replace the fuel
pump.
6. Make sure the Power Unit clears the ground by
at least 12 inches (305 mm) to provide ade-
quate ventilation and reduce the amount of
dust pulled in by the cooling fan.
7. The Power Unit must be located so that the inlet
to the Power Unit is protected from direct expo-
sure to rain and road splash. Compliance with
this protection requirement for road splash is
assumed whenever no line of sight can be pro-
jected from the Coach tire’s contact with the
road into the inlet of the Power Unit. Consider-
ation may also need to be given to splash from
vehicles sharing the road with the Coach. It is
generally preferable to mount the Power Unit in
front of, rather than behind, the Coach tires.
8. Locate or shield the Power Unit such that con-
densate from air conditioners will not drip on it.

ENCLOSURE
1. Provide a vapor and fire resistant barrier be-
tween the Power Unit and the interior of the ve-
hicle. Use approved materials (26 gauge gal-
vanized steel). See NFPA 1192 for details.
WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY.
Construct a suitable vapor barrier of ap-
proved materials between the Power Unit
and vehicle interior to keep out exhaust
gas.
2. The enclosure must be large enough to provide
at least 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) clearance at the top
of the Power Unit and 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) clear-
ance at the sides. These minimum clearances
apply to the thermal or acoustic insulation with
which the compartment may be lined. Minimum
compartment dimensions are:
A. Height: 22.78 inches (578.6 mm)
B. Width: 24.73 inches (628.1 mm)
C. Length: 36.85 inches (936 mm)
3. Acoustic/thermal insulation and adhesive must
be rated as “Self-Extinguishing.” Do not line the
bottom of the compartment with insulation,
which can absorb spilled fuel and oil.
COOLING AND VENTILATION
WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! Do not
duct air discharged from the Power Unit into the
vehicle.
The air intake and discharge openings are in the
bottom of the Power Unit (Figure 2-2). Unrestricted
air flow for cooling, ventilation and combustion is es-
sential for proper Power Unit performance and ser-
vice life. Refer to Appendix C. Hot Air Recirculation
Test.
If the Power Unit is installed on a floor, cut out open-
ings in the floor that are at least as large as the open-
ings in the Power Unit.
Make sure frame cross members, exhaust tail pipes
and other equipment do not cross underneath the
air intake and discharge openings. Do not block the
air inlet and outlet openings with screens, expanded
metal or the like; they restrict air flow and could
cause the Power Unit to overheat.

EXHAUST CONNECTIONS
WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! Keep
exhaust gases from entering the vehicle. Do not
terminate the exhaust tailpipe underneath the
vehicle or closer than specified to openings into
the vehicle or route it such that it is likely to be
damaged. Use approved materials and parts
only.
CAUTION
Modifications or replacements of
fuel, exhaust, air intake or speed control system
components that affect engine emissions are
prohibited by law in the State of California.
Muffler
The muffler is mounted inside the Power Unit hous-
ing (Figure 2-3). It has been qualified as a USDA
(Forest Service) spark arrestor. See the Power Unit
Outline Drawing for the exhaust outlet flange dimen-
sions.
A Power Unit without a properly installed and main-
tained spark arresting exhaust system can cause a
forest fire. It is illegal on federal lands. Liability for
damage, injury and warranty expense due to the
modification of the exhaust system or to the use of
unapproved parts is the responsibility of the person
performing the modification or installing the unap-
proved parts. Contact an Onan distributor for ap-
proved exhaust system parts.

Tailpipe
Tailpipe adapter kits are separately available. Use a
straight adapter for a tailpipe routed up from below
the Power Unit. Use an elbow adapter for a tailpipe
routed through the clearance hole in the right or
back side of the base of the Power Unit. When con-
necting and routing the tailpipe:
1. Use 1-3/8 inch ID aluminized steel tubing or
equivalent for the tailpipe. (Do not use flexible
pipe. Flexible pipe is not gas tight or durable.)
2. Secure the tailpipe or adapter flange to the muf-
fler flange with a gasket and two 5/16-18 bolts.
3. Use U-bolt muffler clamps to connect sections
of tailpipe. It is recommended that the overlap-
ping pipe be slotted as shown in Figure 2-4.
4. Use automotive-type tailpipe hangers every 2
to 3 feet (610 to 914 mm). Attach the hangers
to steel framework, not to wood or other com-
bustible material.
5. Do not terminate the tailpipe underneath the
vehicle. Extend it a minimum of 1 inch (25 mm)
beyond the perimeter of the vehicle (Figure
2-5). Support the end of the tailpipe such that
it cannot be pushed inward and up under the
skirt of the vehicle by backing up into a curb or
other obstacle.
Note: Do not terminate the tailpipe underneath a
slide-out room
(Figure 2-7), unless the bottom
of the slide-out, including skirts and moldings,
is at least 3 feet above the end of the tailpipe.
6. Do not route the tailpipe such that it will interfere
with opening the Power Unit maintenance door
or draining engine oil or coolant or restrict the
air inlet.
7. Do not route the tailpipe closer than 3 inches
(76 mm) to combustible material (wood, felt,
cotton, organic fibers, etc.) unless it is insulated
or shielded. The temperature of adjacent com-
bustible material must not exceed 194
°F
(90
°C).
8. Do not route the tail pipe near fuel lines or fuel
tanks or terminate it below or near a fuel fill
opening.
9. Do not terminate the tailpipe such that it is clos-
er than 6 inches (153 mm) to any opening into
the vehicle interior (door, window, vent). See
Figure 2-6.

10. The tail pipe must be visible and accessible
along its entire length for inspection and re-
placement.
11. Route the tailpipe such that it will not likely be
struck when the vehicle is moving. Keep it out
of the approach and departure angles of the ve-
hicle and above the axle clearance line (Fig-
ure 2-7).
12. Do not connect Power Unit exhaust to the ve-
hicle engine exhaust system.
CAUTION
Interconnecting the engine ex-
haust systems will allow exhaust conden-
sates and soot to migrate into the engine
that is idle, causing engine damage.
13. Exhaust back pressure under full load must not
exceed 2 inches (51 mm) water column (WC)
as measured within 6 inches (154 mm) of the
muffler outlet flange.
CAUTION
Excessive back pressure can
cause loss of performance and engine dam-
age.

FUEL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Diesel fuel is a combustible and can
cause severe personal injury or death. Do not
smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light, arc-
producing equipment, electrical switch or other
ignition source around fuel or fuel components,
or in areas sharing ventilation. Keep a type ABC
fire extinguisher handy.
Do not interconnect Power Unit and vehicle engine
fuel lines. Follow the vehicle chassis manufactur-
er’s instructions when making connections to the
vehicle engine fuel tank.
CAUTION
Either or both engines could starve
for fuel if the Power Unit and vehicle engine fuel
lines are interconnected. Always use separate
fuel lines or a separate fuel tank for the Power
Unit.
To prevent the Power Unit from running the vehicle
out of fuel, do not extend the Power Unit fuel pickup
tube down into the fuel tank as far as the pickup tube
for the vehicle engine.
Fuel lines (supply and return) must have at least a
1/4 inch (6.4 mm) ID. The Power Unit has 1/8 inch
NPT fittings for fuel supply and return.
Run the fuel line at or above the top of the fuel tank to
reduce the risk of siphoning fuel out of the tank if the
line should break. The maximum fuel pump lift is
36 inches (914 mm).
Route fuel lines away from electrical wiring and hot
engine exhaust components. Fuel lines should be
accessible for inspection and replacement, pro-
tected from damage and secured to prevent kinking,
contact with sharp edges and chafing due to vibra-
tion.
COOLANT CONNECTIONS
The liquid-cooled electronics cold plate in the Invert-
er/Charger is cooled by a heat exchanger housed in
the Power Unit. For coolant hose connections be-
tween the Inverter/Charger and Power Unit refer to
Section 3. Inverter/Charger Installation.
COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTIONS
Refer to Section 7. Communications and Input
Cables for Inverter/Charger communications and
remote control connections.

3. Inverter/Charger Installation
LOCATION, MOUNTING AND ENCLOSURE
Refer to the Inverter/Charger Outline Drawing for di-
mensions (p. E-4).
1. The Inverter/Charger must be located close
enough to the Coach Batteries so that the bat-
tery cables do not exceed 10 ft (3 meters) in
length.
2. In order to fill and prime the Inverter/Charger
cooling system, the Inverter/Charger must not
be located more than 3 feet (1 meter) higher
than the Power Unit.
3. The Inverter/Charger must be located in an en-
closure that is dry and affords protection from
dust, rain, snow and road splash.
4. The Inverter/Charger must be isolated from
batteries, fuel tanks and other sources of flam-
mable or explosive gases.
5. The Inverter/Charger base has six mounting
holes. Four 1/4 inch (6 mm) screws must be
used to mount it to the floor, wall or roof of the
enclosure. Two mounting screws must be in
front (terminal side) and two in back.
6. When secured to a wall, the Inverter/Charger
must be level and the coolant hose fittings must
point to either side, not up or down. This is to
prevent coolant from entering the electronic
components inside the Inverter/Charger if
there is a hose leak. Figure 3-1 illustrates ac-
ceptable mounting positions and orientations.
7. There must be a minimum of 1 inch (25.4 mm)
clearance on all sides and top of the Inverter/
Charger cover and room for making wiring and
coolant hose connections.
8. The Inverter/Charger has an internal cooling
fan. Air must flow freely from left to right through
and out of the enclosure. The size and location
of the enclosure and flow of air through it must
be such that the Inverter/Charger does not
overheat and shut down during normal
operation. Refer to Appendix C. Hot Air
Recirculation Test.
CAUTION
Inadequate cooling air flow or
recirculation of warm air back into the In-
verter/Charger can result in shutdowns due
to overheating.
